Our group sessions are especially popular, offering a warm, relaxed setting to learn alongside other expectant parents.

I’m coming for my first newborn visit. What should I bring?2026-04-22T14:21:46-07:00

Please bring your insurance information and, if your baby was not born at Cedars-Sinai, your hospital discharge paperwork. A swaddle blanket can also be helpful. Most importantly, bring your questions. We are here to support you.
